When your campaign fails to execute on the same very basic responsibility three times in a row, the candidate has fallen down on the job.
When the ad failed to run for the second time at the 10:00 slot, there should have been a team of angry and litigious O'Donnell staffers and volunteers in the TV station offices demanding and confirming that the 3:00 spot would run.
Instead, her campaign's response is: "It didn't get done. We don't know why. Maybe they forgot."
Am I going to vote for someone who is basically saying: "the dog ate my homework"?
I’ve been in broadcasting and no one forgot to run it.
Vivian Schiller or the station manager told them not do so. Perhaps a call from the White house did the trick.
It is also possible that the Philly stations got calls on this subject too. I have not seen a total shutout like before as most stations will lean over backward to accomodate politicians.
NPR needs to have all funding from the Feds ended. No ramp down to keep them going until they figure out how to run a private station, no time to adjust, just suddenly...no money.
Not one more dime.

And you know they didn't do that how?

Pretty unfair to say this is comparable to a kid who says a dog-ate-my-homework. A comparison like that is more appropriate for the station that neglected to run the damn add, don't you think.
